Cauliflower bake is a simple everyday dinner. The cauliflower is briefly boiled, covered with a mixture of sour cream, eggs and milk and baked under cheese.

The recipe was shared by Liuba Kruk, the author of the Smachno cooking website.

Mustard and granulated garlic in the topping make the flavour brighter. For this amount you will need a dish of about 27 by 19 centimetres.

What you need

  • cauliflower — 700 g;
  • 20% sour cream — 3 tbsp;
  • milk — 50 ml;
  • eggs — 2;
  • granulated garlic — ½ tsp;
  • mustard — 1 tsp;
  • semi-hard cheese — 120 g;
  • salt and ground black pepper — to taste;
  • butter and breadcrumbs — for the dish.

How to make it

1. Boil the cauliflower. Break the cauliflower into florets. Bring salted water to the boil, add the cauliflower and cook for 3 minutes, then drain in a colander.

2. Make the topping. Break the eggs into the sour cream, add the milk, granulated garlic and mustard, season with salt and mix thoroughly.

3. Fill the dish. Grease the dish with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Add the cauliflower, pour the mixture evenly over it and season with pepper.

4. Add the cheese. Coarsely grate the cheese and spread it evenly on top.

5. Bake. Bake for about 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 °C.

Serve the bake hot as a main course or as a side dish with meat or fish.

As a reminder, in September we baked marinated chicken legs in the oven.
